Through
a selection of slides found on a flea market, Der Erste Rotkehlchen takes us into the life of a French couple
between 1959 and 1978.

This
series of portraits invites us to taste the recklessness of the
Glorious Thirty years – the post WWII period known as “Les Trente
Glorieuses” in France. It weaves the fabric for a reflection
on this finished era, and on the topics of identity and ageing.

Was
there a will to create a meaningful whole, or is it
just pure coincidence ? Just like the identity of the two protagonists,
this question remains
unsolved.
